A substantial number of baseball's all-stars, in Major League Baseball, are not from the US. It's a popular enough sport elsewhere, but the best players tend to want to come to the US to play. About 25% of the players are foreign.

Same with basketball, which hasn't had an American MVP in 8 years. About 30% of the players are foreign.

I saw comments unironically saying last year was a true "world" series because the Blue Jays were in it.

Excuse me! Canada won it last year.

Kick this sheep's bladder around or I'll punch your wives again!

More like Spanish and Portuguese former colonies. Since USA, Canada, Australia, India, etc not that great at football ⚽

All I remember about American Football was how fucking slow the pace of the game was compared to literally every other mainstream sport. It was definitely designed for a fat ass country.

Highschool? Everyone i knew got in in elementary or middle school. Those who tried to start in highschool never even touched the field

I'm surprised the US never found a love for rugby, it's a brilliant sport to play and spectate but it tends to be a fair bit less dangerous to its players than American football. There's various reasons but the lack of protective gear is a factor people talk about a lot ironically.

Interestingly go far back enough in time and they evolved from a common ancestor, but nowadays there's little to unite them other than fact they're both full-contact ball sports.

Personally I would like to participate in the motorcycle chariot race, but then again I'm a Californian Redneck so basically an Aussie alternative.

We have Australian Football leagues in many countries. USA vs Canada is in a couple of weeks in British Columbia.

... well, there is that one brief moment they use a foot /s

The name football comes from England I thought, where they called any game played on foot football as opposed to being on horseback or some shit. So rugby was football. The U.S. version of such also was known as football. Hence why Australia also calls Australian Rugby, football or footy.

Meaning that in spirit, baseball and basketball are also football, lolol

We’ll only leave the country if we get to fight the French.

I think this is about football and American football.

I.. Dont think england invented soccer, though

I took it as sarcasm.

All of them. All of them. All of them.
